Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.

Did anyone here ever take great amounts of McDonalds hamburgers (like 40 or something) plus some french fries to school to eat it in the break at ten in the morning with four or five friends?

No, though that sounds cool.

It's quite nice. Some of the vegetarians were appalled, though.

If/when I move it won't be till the end of the school semester (early May), but it'll be further east, but still in PA, in Johnstown. Never been out of the beautiful hills of PA Green Acres though, except 8 months of hell living in Florida... guess I'm out of the ..

I'm going to see a stylist once I get off this god-forsaken accutane which keeps killing every oil in my hair.

I was on accutane before too. That was when I was in my teens, but I still have a lot of joint problems from it.

Seriously this crap should be illegal. I can't even talk about some of the side effects, too vulgar for this forum.

Oh wow.

Good for you. The entire spectacle is ridiculous. Concepts like "less is more," subtlety, substance, and originality are jettisoned in favor of the lowest common denominator. An otherwise good game diminished by all the inane flair that surrounds it. But the Super Bowl is apparrently the best representation of what America is all about (according to Donny Deutsch.) I actually agree with him. The Super Bowl indeed epitomizes "Americanism." Of course I don't say this as a compliment. But I know that there are those who enjoy exposing their children to this spectacle of profanity, lewdness, and godless shenanigans. To each his own I guess.

I "liked" Diogenes of Sinope on Facebook after hearing about him in my philosophy class and saw Cyrillic and JamesR had already liked his page.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to call it Babylonian. Then again, the less poetic might mock you for it.
